Aquatic Wildlife Restoration and Management Plan

This section utilizes the Steelhead Restoration and Management Plan for California as a template for synthesizing the expansion of riparian zones to reestablish headwater systems within the Jacoby Creek Watershed. “Among the 50 states, California ranks second in numbers of freshwater fish species that are declining (Williams et al. 1989). If anadromous fish stocks are included, however, California clearly leads the nation in species loss and imperilment” (Steelhead Restoration and Management Plan for California). The State of California holds and produces some of the largest sources of Natural Resources in the United States yet decline in biodiversity has been corresponding with burgeoning human populations and the ever-increasing demand on Natural Resources. Expansion of riparian zones within the Jacoby Creek Watershed focuses on restoration of native and naturally produced wild (fish) stocks to maintain genetic and biological diversity. Projects within the Jacoby Creek Forest will be designed as prototype models for integrating sustainable watershed rehabilitation methods into harmony with improving Old-Growth Watershed Conditions within the Forest and are structured to be reimplementable within other regions once verification of restorative capacities has been confirmed.  

1. Increase natural production of anadromous and residential fish populations so that wild populations are self-sustaining and maintained in good condition.
2. Enhance fishing opportunities and non-consumptive uses.

1. Restoration of degraded habitats 
2. Restoration of access to historic habitats that are presently blocked 
3. Review of angling regulations to ensure that steelhead and coho adults and juveniles are not over-harvested 
4. Maintenance and improvement of wild hatchery runs, where appropriate 
5. Development and facilitation of research to address deficiencies in information on fresh water and ocean life history, behavior, habitat requirements, and other aspects of anadromous species’ biology 

Riparian zone expansion will assist in re-establishing Old-Growth Watershed Conditions within the Ancient Jacoby Creek Redwood Forest Ecosystem. Focuses include watershed restoration and protection, providing adequate stream flows, and restoring access to headwaters. Restoration efforts are intimately tied to raising ethical standards for California’s Watershed Management Practices to higher prioritize the physical, biological, and ecological processes of the Planetary Biosphere. Restoration of riparian zones within the Jacoby Creek Watershed will assist with providing adequate year-round stream flows into the Jacoby Creek, restoring access to headwaters, maintaining watershed quality and integrity, and rehabilitation of problem areas that degrade or block aquatic habitats. Watershed Management Practices within the Jacoby Creek will be cultivated for developing prototype designs, reimplementable in other regions of the state, for offsetting excessive water development on the California bioscape.  

Riparian Restoration of the Jacoby Creek Watershed is structured to increase yearly water abundance and circulation throughout the Jacoby Creek Forest. Structures will be implemented for maximizing natural surface water retention, establishing accessibility and circulation between subterranean spring water and surface water pools, and expanding surface water storage and circulation during the dry seasons. Watershed Restoration efforts will prioritize promoting the health of headwater habitats and cultivating aquatic ecosystems to increase year-round accessibility to headwater sources for the Jacoby Creek.  

Steelhead, more so than salmon, are dependent upon headwater tributaries for successful spawning and rearing. (McEwan & Jackson SHRMP1996). The Wild Trout Program offered by the Department of Fish and Wildlife will be looked into as a resource for assisting with expansion of the riparian zones around the Jacoby Creek for restoring and stabilizing the year-round headwater systems for the Jacoby Creek Watershed. 

Water Basins will be created in intervals along the Jacoby Creek to establish wide-spread subbasin infrastructure habitats harmoniously integrated into the natural landscape of the Jacoby Creek Watershed. Each Water Basins will be at least 1 acre, up to 350+ feet deep, and designed to store at least 100 million gallons of water. The Water Basins will be filled through natural rainwater, seasonal creeks the basin is built along, water diverted from the Jacoby Creek, and water pumped from natural subterranean springs. These Water Basins will operate as Wildlife Fisheries for the repopulation of native fish species, specifically Steelhead Rainbow Trout, and natural water storage supplies for the dry season and droughts. At least half of water in each basin will constantly be retained to operate as freshwater offsets for waiting pools for native steelhead trout populations. During the dry season, up to 50 million gallons of water will be pumped from each Water Basin into the surrounding seasonal creeks and into the Jacoby Creek to enhance headwater access for the Jacoby Creek and sustain off-channel pools within the floodplains of the Jacoby Creek year-round.  

A Prototype Model of this Water Management System will be implemented on 1 acre of the Ahmed Estate sectioned along the non-residential side of the Jacoby Creek. The Ahmed Estate holds full riparian rights to the Jacoby Creek and is allowed to store however much water is needed during the wintertime for summer uses. The Basin will be dug out along a section of the property that preferably has at least 1-2 seasonal creeks already flowing through it. A water pump will be established at the base of the seasonal creek on the Ahmed Property that will pump water from the Jacoby Creek through the seasonal creek, into the large water basin, and back down to the Jacoby Creek. If there is well water located underneath the selected location, it will be accessed to pump water from the subterranean springs into the base of the Water Basin. The foundation of the Water Basin will be covered with medium sized trees. Natural Clay-Mud that was exuviated while digging the basin will then be added on top of the trees. 1-2 holes will be left hollow within the foundation for accessing subterranean well water and pumping it into the basin. The trees covered in mud will be structured for the wood to naturally petrify over time. A layer of medium sized rocks will be layered over the mud. A layer of medium-sized Redwood Trees will cover the top of the base-foundation. The walls of the Basin will be created from medium-sized activated charcoal trees. The Activated charcoal will detoxify the water for it to be clean enough for direct human consumption. 

Basin Habitats will be cultivated to promote the yearly habitation of Steelhead Rainbow Trout. Research will be done into cultivating Basin Systems into subterranean well waterways to establish an underground Sea-Passage Network connecting all of the Water Basins together, into the Humboldt Bay and North Pacific Ocean.   

This subterranean irrigation system will connect the Water Basin Systems deep within the ocean, leading out into an area preferable for juvenile habitation for anadromous fish. The establishment of a natural subterranean waterway system between the Basins and the ocean will offer a secondary waterway system for the Steelhead Trout, and other anadromous fish, to enter into the freshwater systems deep within their preferable watershed habitats. This secondary waterway system will operate at deep enough levels to be autonomous to the activities of surface water activities, enabling the steelhead trout consistent year-round access between headwater habitats and deep-ocean ecosystems.  

The Sea Passage will be designed as a subterranean waterway system for the fish habitats within the forest. Each of the Basins will be built with at least 1 deeper hole accessing the subterranean springs beneath it. These deeper holes will be large enough for anadromous fish of large size to easily swim, but small in comparison to the overall basin structure. Well Holes will have at least 2 tunnel levels. The first tunnel level will be structured to connect all of the freshwater basins together and establish a waterway system freely accessible to anadromous and residential fish. The second tunnel level will be structured more deeply and will connect into the natural sea water intrusion / groundwater pressure levels, connecting the freshwater systems and the ocean water systems beneath the first layer of the well springs.  

Conditions of the sea-passage way beneath the Jacoby Creek Forest needs to be investigated more thoroughly to establish what would be needed further. If this passageway is already fully formed, then all that is needed is to dig the well into it with minimal damage to the currently existing sea-passage. If the sea-passage is not fully formed but is still connecting, further work, potentially involving tremendous manpower and resources, may need to be done to fully establish the sea-passage. 

Well holes connecting between the Basins and the Ocean will be built large enough for a medium-large submarine to travel. Sea-Passage Networks will be utilized for establishing deep-sea scientific monitoring of anadromous fish populations to establish historic data banks on freshwater and ocean life history, habitat requirements, and other aspects of salmonid biology. Submarines will be utilized for long-term monitoring of Coho Salmon and Steelhead Trout Populations. Submarines will be designated to follow specific coho salmon and steelhead trout platoons through the ocean to monitor and observe their oceanic behaviors. Currently, studies are limited to mostly spawning behavior, but these species likely operate in completely different adaptive traits while in inside oceanic ecosystems. Submarines will be stocked for following their designated platoon for years at a time, making partial or complete journeys with their platoon through a full lifecycle. 

All submarines will be developed to be eco-friendly and will convert surrounding water into hydrogen fuel-cells to provide its primary energy supply. Submarines will be developed with specialized utilities, such as guns that shoot small tracking devices unto fish and net-harpoon systems for safely capturing fish without injuring them. Submarines will be designed for monitoring and recording fish behaviors, acoustic languages, geographic migrations, and deep-sea habits/habitats. The Exterior of each Submarine will be structured to provide accessible shelter points for coho or steelhead platoons, enabling shielding and protection from potential predators and/or harsh environmental conditions. Salmonid Submarines will be developed for cultivating healthier, stronger, and larger platoons of Coho and Steelhead populations. 

Salmonid Submarines will be exteriorly designed as a giant Salmonid. The outside will be specially crafted to provide protection and shelter unique for salmonid within all stages of their life, from juveniles just entering the ocean to adults return to spawning habitats. The exterior will be cultivated with special sensory devices to enable the submarine to naturally collect small samples of the surrounding oceanic microbial matter for Next Generation Sequencing Data Analysis. Submarines will be structured as natural moving wild fishery systems for facilitating the natural health and production of designated wild salmon populations in order to drastically raise the number of salmon returning from the ocean and to create a baseline for the amount of anadromous fish leaving to, and returning from, the ocean. The exterior of the salmonid submarines will be designed for aquatic habitat cultivation of seaweed, and potentially sponge habitats. The baseline for the habitat cultivation will be aquatic mycelium that can travel between freshwater and saltwater systems and can provide a food-chain-base for the production of krill. Habitat conditions within a layer of the submarine will be designed for naturally enhancing the development of mycelium to improve quality and quantity of aquatic mycelium production to operate as a basis for the food chain for krill and other organisms to form that the salmonid can feast upon. Electroculture and Magnetoculture technology will be developed and integrated for enhancing the health and growth rate of aquatic mycelium to promote large development of krill within surrounding regions of the submarine. The submarine will be structured to produce enough quantities of aquatic mycelium to leave a large trail behind it and large growth rate of beneficial mycelium to surrounding local regions around the sub.  

The interior of the Salmonid Submarines will be structured as a fusion between a luxury cruise ship, a yacht, and the Nautilus from Journey to the Mysterious Island. The interior of each submarine will be comprised of at least 3-4 levels. At least One level will be for residential quarters. At least one level will be for dining and recreation. At least one level will be for Research and Development. At least one level will be for ship navigation and administration. There will be multiple aquarium food storage areas for long-term storage of live fish for consumption. There will also be large enough storage, fridge, and freezer space to store at least 1-3 years’ worth of food for the designated residence size of the sub.  

The Salmonid Submarine Project will collaborate with the International North Pacific Fisheries Commission and the Local Yurok, Wiyot, and Kuruk Tribes. The Submarine staff members will include at least 1 ceremonial bear dancer as the Soul Director of the Submarine. There will be at least 1 Fisheries Biologist. There will be at least 1 oceanographer. There will be at least 1 computer expert specialized in quantum computer coding and programming. There will be at least 1 microbiology and/or geneticist with specialization in utilizing the Next Generation Sequencing Technology. There will be 1 captain and 1 co-captain. Other personnel include maintenance staff, chefs, custodians… 

Next Generation Sequencing Technology (NGS) will be utilized to monitor aquatic habitats, identify quantity and individual salmonids and other species, and collect data on changes within genome structure and alleles within salmonid migrations and natural adaptations. 

Additional NGS Technology will be implemented through weather balloons in each layer of the atmosphere to collect consistent microbial samples from the air to obtain overall genetic data from every layer of the Biosphere.

Salmonid Submarines will play live sea faring music for establishing communicative perimeters between humanity and the Whale and Dolphin Kingdoms to promote travel in convoys. Overtones and undertones of ultrasound and infrasound developed for Dolphin and Whale communications will be harmoniously converged into the wave structure of the seafaring music to establish interspecies diplomacy between humanity and Whales and Dolphins.

Water Holes will be dug out along Seasonal Creeks where water naturally accumulates on the surface-area. Water holes will be at least 10 feet in diameter and at least 3-6 feet deep. The center of these water holes will be dug deeper into to access the well spring water that is located underneath. The water holes that have well water stored underneath will be connected into the deeper subterranean Sea-Passage Way that connects all the subbasin systems together. A water pump will be placed at the base of the seasonal creek and will pump water from the Jacoby Creek into the top of the seasonal creek, then flowing down into the Water Hole, and eventually leading back into the Jacoby Creek. During the dry seasons, water will stop being pumped into the seasonal creek from the Jacoby Creek and will be pumped from a nearby Large Water Basin into the seasonal creek that will then recycling into the Jacoby Creek. Subterranean Wells directly linked into the base of Water Holes will ether pump an in-flow or out-flow through the well circulation system based on specific uses of the water hole. Water Holes used for habitat restoration will pump water out through the holes while water utilized for human drinking or recreation will pump water into it from the subterranean springs. The development of Water Holes along seasonal creeks running into the the Jacoby Creek, and turning seasonal creeks into yearly creeks, will permanently expand riparian zones within the Jacoby Creek Watershed to optimize natural health, growth, and production in vegetation and development of the forest ecosystem by providing ample water supplies throughout wide-spread regions of the forest during the dry seasons when the most sun is obtained and the most water required.  

Designated Water Holes will be developed into aquatic habitat ecosystems for native amphibians and/or small/juvenile fish. These aquatic habitats will be structured for the habitation of aquatic watershed species such as salamanders, frogs, toads, dragonflies, damselflies, and other species that rely on calm-still water habitats for their habitations. Two types of water hole habitats will be implemented: 

1. A simple replication of natural habitat conditions of designated species. 
2. A wildlife habitat that integrates modern aquarium technological advancements to create a wildlife habitat integrable for both wildlife habitation and human habitation (such as for swimming harmoniously with the aquatic species). 

Natural Water Hole Habitats will be cultivated for replicating old-growth watershed conditions for the amphibian populations within the Jacoby Creek Watershed. These habitats will be cultivated as ideal spawning grounds for the native amphibians and ideal rearing areas for juvenile anadromous fish. Natural Water Hole Habitats will have well-spring systems with a gentle out-ward current circulating from the water hole into the deeper subterranean springs and out into the Humboldt Bay through the subterranean sea-passage. Filtration systems will be placed on the wells that allow juvenile anadromous fish to pass through but not anything sizably larger. The well water systems will be used to connect juvenile spawning grounds within the water holes directly into the Humboldt Bay. This passage system will be designed to maximize safety of juvenile anadromous fish to maximize survival rates from the headwaters to the bay. 

Aquarium Habitats will integrate modern aquarium technology to cultivate wild water hole habitats for native amphibians that is also clean enough for human habitation. These Water Holes will utilize aquarium cleaning systems to keep water hole habitats clean enough to drink and clear enough to see through. These habitats will be created with at least 2-3 layers of large boulders and activated charcoal logs along the sides and bottom. The boulders and logs will be developed to provide a complex environment of shallow and sheltered water pools for amphibians within these water holes. The boulder walls and grounds will be constructed as natural barrier systems to neutralize any disturbances created within the water due to human activity. The Aquarium Water Hole Habitats will be created for people and amphibians to be able to swim safely together. These habitats will also be cultivated as wildlife aquariums with water clear enough for people to see straight through to the bottom, and waters lush enough to host a vast and diverse ecosystem of complex and radiant lifeforms.   

Aquatic Habitats will be carefully monitored through Next Generation Gene Sequencing Data Analysis to observe natural correlation between beneficial nutrients being released from individual aquatic habitats and illness and diseases causing microbes. Habitat developments will be structured for optimizing beneficial nutrient developments within individual aquatic micro-ecosystems to ultimately enhance the overall surrounding ecosystems as each waterway enters into the primary Jacoby Creek, into the Humboldt Bay, and out to the North Pacific Ocean. The anadromous fish populations will be utilized as a reference point for healthy waterway activities between individual aquatic micro-ecosystems and the larger Ecosystems. Watershed activities will be designed to minimalize disease and illness spreading throughout the marine populations of the Pacific Ocean and maximize nutrient output between the Jacoby Creek Watershed and the Pacific Oceanic Ecosystems. Monitoring will be done for strengthening the natural immune system within native anadromous species to enable overall strengthening in the genetic quality of the global species over long periods.   

Snow Management Systems will be cultivated to maximize freshwater productions and management within Humboldt County to produce a new headwater system along the California Coast. 

 Artificial Glaciers will be created on the top of mountain tops that have been clear cut. These artificial glaciers will store indefinite amounts of water during winter rain and snow on the mountain top by freezing the water/snow into ice. The artificial glaciers will be structured to slowly accumulate larger quantities of ice over time, establishing long-term reservoirs of fresh water supplies, while also providing additional annual water through ice and snow that naturally melts during the sun seasons. Glacier Habitats will be structured to cool down the mountain top regions to assist in retaining higher quantities of snow throughout larger durations of the year. The effective management of Natural Snow Resources will stabilize abundance in the headwater ecosystems that establish the creek and river systems.  Artificial Glaciers developed for Humboldt County will add unto current Ice Stupa Technology and sections of metal rods will be developed for retaining very cold temperatures. The cold metal rods will provide the change in temperature conditions for the ice to form around it as water is being released from the top of the stupa. This will require substantial power-sources to effectively operate. The artificial glaciers will be powered by electrical energy captured from solar panels that will be installed nearby. Solar Panels will enable maximum energy output during the summer seasons and will require large power storage units for storing additional energy in the summertime for use during the winter. Additional power-sources will be obtained through research and development into Electroculture and Magnetoculture technologies. Basic conceptual principles of electroculture and magnetoculture will be implemented to develop new systems of sustainable energy technology that generates larger amounts of natural energy from the magnetic field of the planet than currently accessed by current developments in this emerging technological field. A third power source will be produced from stored water converted into hydrogen fuel cells. Artificial Glaciers will be structured into intricate systems for storing water and regulating natural water supplies. Glacier cooling systems will be developed with remote control access for precise and accurate regulation of temperature zones throughout targeted regions of the glacier. Glaciers will be developed with sections that naturally retain large liquid water supplies for supporting headwater habitats. 

The production of Artificial Glaciers along the clear-cut sections of mountain tops within Humboldt County will have dynamic changes on the climate, mitigating the effects of global warming. This system can potentially help drastically change the trends of global warming by directly cooling the local region of the glacier and by sustained water circulation throughout the central and southern regions of the state. This system is designed to provide additional levels of drought protection throughout the state and initiate environmental changes within drought-stricken regions to refurbish atmospheric conditions for precipitation and ecological development. 

Artificial Glaciers will be developed with intricate Water Hole Systems along side it. The Artificial Glaciers will be cultivated to store maximum water reserves during the winter time by freezing the water while the Glacier Water Holes will be developed as Natural Mineral Hot Springs to recycling fresh water back into the atmosphere (through steam) and regulate water temperatures within headwater systems to balance the artic water conditions created by the glaciers. Electroculture and Magnetoculture technology will be developed for producing excess electric energy from the magnetic field of the planet to naturally, and sustainably, heat the hot spring glacier water holes. The hot spring glacier water holes will be created using activated charcoal logs to absorb toxins and large rocks to establish seating area replicating an in-ground hot tub. Hot tub jets will be installed within the holes of the rocks to create Natural Hot Tub Hot Springs in the Redwood Forest. The hot springs will be accessible as natural spa resorts for human populations while also establishing a natural ventilation recycling system between water being stored from the air and water being converted into air.
